Reviews for Vatican City Tour : Vatican And Sistine Chapel With Direct Basilica Access
Terrible communication, missed our tour
Bailey_B
Viator completely wrecked our booking by not communicating our information with the actual tour guide business. We showed up twenty minutes early (after walking all over town because 2/3 addresses were incorrect and the one that was correct had a sign on the door with walking directions to the correct location) and upon checking in we are told we aren’t apart of their booking. I had vouchers and receipt of payment. Long story short, after being on the phone with Viator and watching all the people on tours leave. They tell us there is no room to put us on another tour. So we flew from the US, spent $350 and didn’t go on the tour. I put in a refund request that got denied the first time because of miscommunication about a hotel (there was no hotel involved) and it took a second time to get the refund to get accepted. After this experience I will no longer book through Viator. I will go out of my way to book directly with the tour host.
Focused and well moderated

So much to see your tour flys by. Just getting to the main attractions require skipping a lot of magnificent items. Our tour guide kept us on pace and focused on the high lights.

Vatican full of amazing art work and history. A must do in a lifetime. We enjoyed the every minute of our tour. The guide answered all our questions. Thank you
Sistine Chapel

Guide was informative but we waited for tickets and started late. Not sure this was worth the cost. Not sure what the basilica access was, because we finished in the chapel.
